Make Money off of a Newly Registered Domain

[armengrecotech]

Hi all!

Just have a quick question.
Say if I registered... a brand new domain that was pretty good. Say an end user would be interested in it... that's how good the domain name is.

My question points to --> could I register a new name and it'll be worth something quickly? (that is if it's a good domain name). Or do I have to hold onto it a long time?

Just wondering.

Thank you!

really depends on how good it is....

You are not the only domainer with this question/dream in mind.

It's possible, but the chance is very slim, say 0.001%.

More like 20% if you choose wisely, but if you're new to this industry, probably closer to 0.0001%.

There has been quite a few times when I hand regged a name on GoDaddy and sold it to an enduser within a week or two for over 100x the regfee. I'm sure there are others who have done this many times also.

Well When I started my domaining career, I sold my first domain (newly registered) for $200 @ TDNAM.
I was impressed and regged few more in tandem - but none of them were sold. I developed them into full fledged websites and they are still active and fetched me revenue of hundreds of dollars.
Later I realized how things work in the domaining Industry. You need to possess gr8 domain evaluation skills, experience, MONEY and a bit or more of LUCK (some just deny this factor)

Experience is the key. All of us have registered junks at some point of time too. :D

I registered HarmonyFX dot com for $7 a couple years ago, sold it for $700 about a year later, then the day after that sale registered a similar $7 niche name, MelodyFX dot com and sold it for $2100 within 6 months of that, then turned right around and registered GemFX dot com and just recently got a $8000 offer for it. I didn't sell it ....but, I probably should.

Well, what do you guys say about the factor "LUCK"???

Hi all!

Thanks for the responses.
I know I'm new to all of this and I know I will make my mistakes. But it's just good to know other's input on things just to keep my mind thinking and learning.

I have a couple of hand regs in mind... one of them getting 201,000 global searches a month on Google (according to adwprds). I don't know if that's good enough, but I guess it's worth a shot I suppose.

Eh, I'll make it on the bandwagon soon enough.

Thank you guys!

Like said above, it depends how good your domain name is!!! It is short and unique then there is a possibility that you can make good amount of bucks out of it.

I'm just sayin'.....yes, luck may have had something to do with it, but finding the end user(s) took some dedicated work. When you know to stick with a niche, that comes from experience and can help tremendously in finding demandable keywords even with abbreviation like these. Many times, you'll find that what worked before..... may just work again. I struggled at first to get acclimated to finding the best domain names. I've never really dealt in high traffic names, spillage domains or typos.....mostly brandable and mainly specific in some form. I now deal in "FX" (Forex, Effects, fx) specific domains and have had much more show of demand for this niche than other names in the past. Much similar to "e" and "i " niche domain names, and "Rx" ect. ect.

Great experiences! You surely should sell it

It can happen - with luck.

I hand regged a 3 word domain just recently, and got an end user offer of $1000 to buy it within a week. I turned it down, as it happens, 'cos I wanted to use it myself.

So, it can happen.

If you specialise in a particular niche, you have probably got a much better chance of hand regging a name which has real value to an end user which would not be appreciated by 99% of other domainers.

Well, what do you guys say about the factor "LUCK"???

Interestingly, the more I improve my mental attitude and the harder (read smarter, not longer) I work, the luckier I become

 

[most123]

sure it can happen
its possible but hard to find your chance and need some good luck
as example just week ago i searched in godaddy and found perfect brand domain ...its new and available to register i think it has a value of at least 1k i was hesitant to register it... i looked on it just 2days ago and it has gone... some one has taken it and made his site...the reason i did not rigester it because its related to adults domains and i dont like this kind of domains...but sure it can happen .. just try hardly
